I'm not even sure why I watched this one first - though I think it may have been for the MDC - but I should probably bump Veronique higher in my Netflix queue because thinking back on when I watched RED I still remember a good deal about what I enjoyed.<br /><br />Also, since I do not own any of them I hope to pick up that Criterion trilogy set when it comes out.<br /><br />Thanks for the recommendations!Rich Thornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14175155453260438808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2407789958418486503.post-69181955773503570972011-08-13T23:15:51.830-07:002011-08-13T23:15:51.830-07:00I appreciate your discussion of fate/coincidence, ...I appreciate your discussion of fate/coincidence, too, and I'm very curious to see what you think of some of his other films, especially as they play with that idea, too. It runs throughout much of the Decalogue and through Veronique as well. (And when you see the first two of the colors trilogy, the sense of it in Red, viz. in the ending, will be further enforced!).M.

I would have suggested seeing the first two films before, especially because Red's ending is a wrap up for the entire trilogy.<br /><br />Having seen it several times, I could see how you might think it takes a while to get started, but I always find myself engrossed throughout the entire experience. <br /><br />I like how you express the idea of coincidence and fate, something I think weaves its way through most of Kieslowski's work. If you're interested in that theme more, watch Blind Chance, which is his most head-on exploration of the idea.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
